Configuration factors

Rack configuration software

To help you plan your rack configuration more efficiently, Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides eCo-Enterprise
Configurator, a powerful web-based service that enables you to build, store, and export end-to-end rack
configurations. Hewlett Packard Enterprise strongly recommends that you configure the rack using the eCo­Enterprise Configurator, which provides factory default racking. The latest version of the software is available
on the

HPE eCo-Enterprise Configurator

The eCo-Enterprise Configurator provides factory default racking for Hewlett Packard Enterprise hardware.
This approach is aligned with the strategic direction to meet the needs and expectations of valued customers.
If you require a custom rack configuration, contact the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Customer Business Center
or an authorized partner for assistance.

If you require factory default racking for the Hewlett Packard Enterprise hardware portfolio, you can use the
HPE eCo-Enterprise Configurator, which is available on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.

Optimum environment

Specific requirements for space, power, temperature, and airflow must be met to provide optimum
performance with minimum maintenance for your rack environment.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.

For additional information, refer to the Best Practices document on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.

Space requirements

When deciding where to place your rack:

• At least 1219 mm (48 in) of clearance is needed all the way around the pallet and above the rack to enable
the removal of the packing material.

• At least 1219 mm (48 in) of clearance is needed in front of the rack to enable the door to open completely.

• At least 762 mm (30 in) of clearance is needed in the rear of the rack to provide access to components.

• At least 380 mm (15 in) of clearance is needed around a power supply to facilitate servicing.

Power requirements

When planning for power distribution requirements for your rack configuration:

• The power load must be balanced between available AC supply branch circuits.

• The overall system AC current load must not exceed 80% of the branch circuit AC current rating.

• If a UPS is used, the load should not exceed 80% of the marked electrical current rating for the UPS.

This equipment must be installed in accordance with local and regional electrical regulations governing the
installation of information technology equipment by licensed electricians. This equipment is designed to
operate in installations covered by the Nation Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA-70, 1993) and the code for
protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment (NFPA-75, 1992).

For electrical power ratings on options, refer to the products rating label or user documentation supplied with
that option.

Temperature requirements

To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the rack in a well-ventilated,
climate-controlled environment.

Configuration factors 5

The operating temperature inside the rack is always higher than the room temperature and is dependent on
the configuration of equipment in the rack. Check the TMRA for each piece of equipment before installation.

CAUTION:

To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment when installing third-party options:

• Do not permit optional equipment to impede airflow around the component or to increase the internal rack
temperature beyond the maximum allowable limits.

• Do not exceed the manufacturer’s TMRA.

Airflow requirements

Hewlett Packard Enterprise rack-mountable products typically draw in cool air through the front and exhaust
warm air out through the rear of the rack. The front door of the rack, therefore, must be adequately ventilated
to enable ambient room air to enter the rack, and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to enable the
warm air to escape the rack. Do not block the ventilation apertures.

Blanking panels

If the front of the rack is not completely filled with components, the remaining gaps between the components
can cause changes in the airflow, which can adversely affect cooling within the rack. Cover these gaps with
blanking panels.

Preparing the rack for component installation

Warning labels

The following warning labels are located on the rack.

Item Description

1 This symbol in conjunction with any of the following

symbols indicates the presence of a potential hazard.
The potential for injury exists if warnings are not
observed. Consult your documentation for specific
details.

2

3

This symbol indicates the presence of risk of
personal injury as the rack may become unstable if
more than one component within the rack is
extended for any reason.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of injury, only extend one
component at a time.

This symbol is to ensure that the rack is adequately
stabilized before extending a component outside of
the rack. Consult your documentation for specific
details on how to stabilize the rack.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of injury, verify the rack is
stabilized.

Preparing the rack for component installation 7

Checking the hardware

3

After unpacking the component to be installed, locate the documentation that was shipped with that
component. Verify that you received all of the listed hardware pieces.

You will typically have extra fasteners after completing your component installation.

IMPORTANT:

Retain the extra fasteners for future use.

Hardware kit contents

If any of the following items are missing or damaged, contact your Hewlett Packard Enterprise authorized
reseller.

Item Description Quantity

1 Door/side panel key 2

2 Leveling pads 4

3 Baying bracket, 24" 4

4 Baying bracket, 6mm 4

Required tools

The following tools are required for installation:

• Flathead screwdriver

• T-25 Torx driver

• T-30 Torx driver

• Adjustable wrench

• Cage nut insertion tool

For comfort and efficiency while setting up your rack, use power tools where applicable.

Removing the rack doors

To provide access to all sides of the rack while you are installing the various components, first remove the
rack doors. If your rack has side panels, also remove them before installing mounting brackets and other
hardware.
